The paper aims to introduce into international economic developments the less discussed dimension of the unofficial expert for the understanding and significance of an international “fait accompli” within a member state of an international economic conference. This expertise is most relevant to the conference of the twentieth century: the Bretton Woods conference, a landmark in world economic history. The study is intended to inform the banking elite of Greece. It was written a few months after the decisions of the Conference, during the crucial period for Greece of the armistice of the civil war and before the country decided to implement the obligations it assumed as a member state. The combination of epistemological and practical factors makes informal expertise important at the time the study was written. Its content lies in the Conference’s institutionalization of the liberal multilateralist perspective of an open economy, which reinforces new ideas in the macroeconomic management of a state facing the crisis of civil war.
